I try Download

after 5-10 MB network not responsible.

Now try KERNEL 2.6.16-r3 -- bug is still here =)

    [PATCH] tty-layer-buffering-revamp: jsm is broken

    Looks like JSM will be uncompilable after the TTY layer rework is merged into
    Linus's post-2.6.15 tree.

    It was complex to fix - the maintainers were notified in September.

Bug is near that paches... i think bug in TTY channel between pptp and pppd
Comment 8 Russell King 2006-04-26 10:53:11 UTC
NAK.  Not my problem.  Please don't randomly reassign bugs to people because
you can't find the real person - it's unhelpful, annoying and discurteous.
Comment 9 Stephen Hemminger 2006-04-26 11:40:50 UTC
Russell says tty is not serial
Comment 10 Badalian Slava 2006-04-27 13:05:24 UTC
Its good. But problem have many providers who use VPN (PPTPD+PPPD).

I can't update 6 VPN servers (over 30k clients) to new kernel becouse its not
work how it must work. 2.6.15.x have trubles in my scsi controllers. 2.6.16.x -
ok but have trouble in pppd =)  its funny but maybe rollback changes or fix it?

"Drivers -> Other" is very popular category. But PPP_TTY is Other? =)
Please check again and get good chooise =)

P.S. i think bug (or not full tranlate to new TTY algoritms/technology) get in
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=33f0f88f1c51ae5c2d593d26960c760ea154c2e2
maybe author (Alan Cox) look to this trouble?

Thanks.
Comment 11 Daniel Drake 2006-04-29 04:22:32 UTC
Badalian,

The problem with the computone patch appears to have confused the bisection
process, however you were down to a few patches only.

Alan's tty reworking is an obvious suspect here. Can you try applying the
following patch to 2.6.15, and confirming that 2.6.15 breaks after doing that?

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=33f0f88f1c51ae5c2d593d26960c760ea154c2e2;hp=6ed80991a2dce4afc113be35089c564d62fa1f11

For future reference, here is a list of patches between the good/bad points
before the computone point was tested:

	[PATCH] char/isicom: Firmware loading <-- BAD
	[PATCH] char/isicom: Pci probing added
	[PATCH] char/isicom: Other little changes
	[PATCH] char/isicom: Type conversion and variables ...
	[PATCH] char/isicom: Whitespace cleanup
	[PATCH] clean up computone remaining cli use
	[PATCH] n_hdlc.c: remove unused declaration
	[PATCH] TTY layer buffering revamp
	[PATCH] tty-layer-buffering-revamp: jsm is broken
	[PATCH] Serial: disable jsm in ppc64 defconfig <-- GOOD

tty rework for 2.6.15

Here is Alan's tty rework fixed to apply against 2.6.15
Comment 13 Badalian Slava 2006-04-29 11:50:33 UTC
ok... i try in few hours... +)
Comment 14 Badalian Slava 2006-05-02 04:21:47 UTC
Sorry for wait.

After applay this patch to 2.6.15.7 kernel have problems discribe upper.

1. try ping... ping ok...
2. try download
ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/ISO/Master-2.4-install-cd.iso
Download started.
3. On 5-15 mb (any time randomly) its freeze.
4. Ping is packet lost
Comment 15 Daniel Drake 2006-05-02 05:00:53 UTC
Alan,

Your TTY layer buffering revamp appears to be the cause of this bug.

This report is a bit long and confusing, so here's a summary:

2.6.15 works fine, but in 2.6.16, the ppp connection stops working after 5-10mb
of data transfer. Everything appears to be up and running, but you cant
transmit/receive anything:

slavon ~ # ping 192.168.0.2
PING 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available

git-bisect more-or-less narrowed this down to the TTY revamp, and we confirmed
this by applying that patch to 2.6.15 and seeing that the bug starts appearing
there too.

What other info can we provide to help debug this?

"PING 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available"

This is transmit side lockup. The tty revamp is receive side so this is
interesting in itself but could be caused by lost RX stuff. The tty revamp patch
itself will certainly show this on SMP as ages old SMP races suddenly turned
from scribbles into the wrong buffer (mostly harmess) to real problems, but the
follow on patches by Paul Fulghum then fixed all the locking. As such the git
bisect is not useful either.

A good starting point would be to know
- What hardware
- What serial port driver
- What platform
- What speed
- What PPP options
- What the PPP and tcp traces look like

- What serial port driver
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
But i use pptpd (poptop) + ppp for VPN.. i don't think that use serial =)

- What platform
Gentoo i686

- What speed
100mbs =)

- What PPP options

name pptpd
refuse-pap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap

- What the PPP and tcp traces look like

Don't understand =(
Comment 18 Badalian Slava 2006-05-10 04:00:49 UTC
kernel 2.6.16-r7 (2.6.16.14)
pppd 2.4.3
pptpd v1.2.3


Bug still here =((((
Comment 19 Erik Smit 2006-05-17 08:26:54 UTC
I seem to have the same problem. I recently upgraded my Debian Sarge machine to
2.6.16.11 when I noticed I was getting random lockups in my ppp connection. 

If I start an upload on my windows machine behind my linux debian sarge 'router'
the connection will randomly 'lock up' and a ping will give:
ping: sendmsg: No buffer space available

If I look with tcpdump on the ppp0 when it is happening I notice there is still
incoming traffic, but no more outgoing traffic.

I just downgraded back to 2.6.15.7 and this fixes the problem.

I use pptp to connect to my Alcatel Speedtouch 510.

- What hardware
Celeron 2.4GHz on cheap MSI motherboard, not sure which type, Intel chipset.
- What serial port driver
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
- What platform
Linux/x86, Debian Sarge
- What speed
Speed of what? The ADSL connection of my Alcatel Speedtouch 510 is trained at
6144/768. The PPTP connection is over a 100BaseTX connection.
- What PPP options
armatron:~# cat /etc/ppp/peers/xs4all
pty "pptp 10.0.0.138 --nolaunchpppd --nobuffer"
name username@xs4all-basic-adsl
remotename PPTP
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
ipparam xs4all
persist
maxfail 0
defaultroute
armatron:~# cat /etc/ppp/options.pptp
lock noauth nobsdcomp nodeflate
armatron:~# cat /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx
- What the PPP and tcp traces look like

tcpdump only shows incoming traffic during the lockup. It will start working
again after a few (5-30) seconds.

pppd doesn't seem to give any problems.
Comment 20 Alan 2006-05-17 08:54:29 UTC
All useful to know as it means the serial layer is not being used at all in
these cases, but might point to a bug in PPTP handling or perhaps in the tty/pty
code 
Comment 21 Badalian Slava 2006-05-17 11:29:48 UTC
Maybe rollback changes on
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=33f0f88f1c51ae5c2d593d26960c760ea154c2e2;hp=6ed80991a2dce4afc113be35089c564d62fa1f11
or anyone debug and find bug? I not so prof to debug drivers. =(

After this patch pptpd have troubles. 
Comment 22 Badalian Slava 2006-05-31 10:26:55 UTC
Hello. Have progress ?
Comment 23 David Boreham 2006-06-02 10:37:58 UTC
It would appear that we have the same bug here.
A router running FC4 began exhibiting trouble with the pptp server it runs
a while ago. After much head-scratching, packet traces, logging and so on,
I ran into a reference to this bug on the poptop mailing list.
Booted the machine with an older kernel (2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp) and
hey presto the pptp problems went away. The 'broken' kernel it 
was running previously was kernel-2.6.16-1.2111_FC4smp.

Symptoms were similar to those reported by others : tunnel appears to
quit passing traffic after some reasonably short period of time (a minute or
two), which I suppose could easily correspond to a few megs of data.

Anyone... I try but i can't find where bug in patch =( 
PPl... Please help... =(
Comment 25 Daniel Drake 2006-06-12 00:53:43 UTC
Paul Mackerras posted a patch which looks promising:

Comment 26 Badalian Slava 2006-06-13 23:15:19 UTC
Fixed +) Patch work.
Also make this bug duplicate of http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6530

All thanks )
Comment 27 Miernik 2007-06-08 21:46:23 UTC
Is this bug patch already applied to the main kernel, or not? If so, in which
version? If not, can it please be applied? I think I am getting similar problems
with 2.6.21, read here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=426440
